I love HG Wells and gave this a whirl, and it was wonderful. Immersive audio drama with musical interludes. A fairly faithful version of the plot of the original book by HG Wells, except some of the adventures of George's brother in this adaptation happen to the wife (easier to follow the drama with less characters). The actors of this audio book are excellent, but Michael Sheen is standout amazing.
